★★ Michelin€€€€Creative French, International

Patrick Mahler and his team offer a unique culinary experience in the form of an exciting six- or eight-course set menu. Replete with intricate details, it blends classic, Japanese and Scandinavian elements. Amuse-bouches, such as shiitake dashi with a lovely hint of ginger, provide the perfect prelude.

PRISMA Expérience

€€€Asian and Western

Housed in the exclusive Park Hotel Vitznau, which dates back to 1903, this summer-only restaurant whisks you away on a culinary voyage. Japanese fusion cuisine is the name of the game here. There is an omakase menu (for two or more diners) and an à la carte selection including sushi, sashimi, Wagyu dishes and ramen. The vibe is casually elegant. The location overlooking the lake is a draw in itself, and it goes without saying that tables on the terrace are highly coveted.
